The vast majority of overseas flights to Denmark arrive at Copenhagen International Airport. A few international flights, mostly coming from other Scandinavian countries or the UK, land at small regional airports in Århus, Aalborg, Esbjerg and Billund.

There are daily bus and rail services between Germany and Denmark’s Jutland peninsula, which then wind their way east to Funen and then over a significant bridge to the island of Zealand and ultimately Copenhagen. The Øresundsforbindelsen (Øresund Fixed Link), a road-rail system stretching over nearly 16km (13 mi) of bridges and tunnels between Malmo in southern Sweden and Copenhagen, gives the Danish capital a land link with the rest of Scandinavia.

It’s possible to arrive by ferry. Boat options include the daily (high season) and weekly (berg bashing) ferries running from Germany (Kiel, Rostock, Puttgarden, Sassnitz-Mukran and the island of Sylt), Iceland (Seydisfjördur), Norway (Oslo, Kristiansand, Bergen and Larvik), Sweden (Helsingborg, Gothenburg, Varberg and Malmö), Poland (Sáwinoujácie) and the UK (Harwich). There are no departure taxes when leaving Denmark.
